<p>Which uc would be safe, which would be reach, and then far reach?</p>
<p>How did you have a 3.2 GPA and get a 2300 in your SATs? That is insane, I have never meet someone in real life with such a combination.</p>
<p>haha, like i said. some difficult life circumstances</p>
<p>Unfortunately for your record, it seems like UC’s place more emphasis on GPA than SAT’s. With that said, maybe the low-mid tiers are a match? I really have no idea. Just apply. Apply to some private schools that emphasis test scores. Use the essay as a chance to explain the mediocre GPA (very maturely, in a way that shows you have potential and take responsibility for your high school performance).</p>
<p>You should include in your personal statement regarding your situation and how it prevented you from getting a high GPA. I think you have a shot at all UC’s depending on your application. I’ve seen people with GPA less than 3.5 get into UCB and UCLA…</p>
<p>Even though you’r gpa is far below any UC’s average gpa, your SAT I and SAT II’s should help you get in at some of the UC’s. You’ll get into UCM and UCR for sure. Most likely UCSC.</p>
<p>I think at UCSB,UCI,and UCD, it’ll be a 50/50 chance, considering your gpa is low, but SAT’s are really high…soo who knows.</p>
<p>thank you for your help,
i also forgot to mention i attended COSMOS summer session at UCI
and took Math 2A and psych 7A at UCI and recieved A’s in both courses
would that give me a boost?</p>
<p>You can find the admit rate/profiles for each UC, by clicking on the school, then the pdf link here</p>

<p>Here is UCSB

<p>It doesn’t address the odds with a really lopsided profile.</p>
<p>There is also a link to details about what they look for. I think UCSC gives points for certain programs. Maybe COSMOS is one of them.</p>
